Cost of the journey

Add up the government fees for an H-1B, a green card and the family filings, and see which ones the employer must pay.

How this works

Fees are the USCIS fee schedule in effect since April 1, 2024 plus premium processing prices from March 1, 2026, and the consular fees for H visas. Attorney fees, medical exams, travel and translation are not included. Some fees (ACWIA, fraud) must by law be paid by the employer.

  1. Fragomen: New USCIS fees effective April 1, 2024
  2. Federal Register: Adjustment to Premium Processing Fees (Mar 1, 2026)
  3. Lighthouse: H-1B fee breakdown for 2026
